Okay Joshy...

LED strip is just underneath front of shelf mounted from below. I've also had them mounted underneath shelf in middle, but not right at the moment. The copper tube holding misters used to be in the middle where you see a piece of PVC currently, and that's about 4" below bottom of shelf. Now it's been moved to front of shelf and is about 6" from top of shelf.



Here's a picture with them on, but mist is so fine you can't really see anything other than a bit hazy.



My fan doesn't move it much, but I forgot it's summer and I have a ceiling fan on in there right now. My other fan is elsewhere at the moment.

Rather than a humidistat you could run the thing every X minutes while you're home some day, and observe how long it takes for the humidity to drop to where you want the mister to come on.

If you go to MistKing.com you can read the ST-24 seconds timer or RCT-24 repeat cycle timer programming instructions. The ST can have up to 9 different programs, on any combination of days of the week, for any length of time. So, yes, you should be able to do periodic brief mistings for humidity and longer mistings for watering.
That's what I did when I relied on the mister to also raise humidity. You can do many multiple settings at different times for X seconds or minutes. I just started it running then checked humidity gauge and dialed it in.

Now I use a fogger instead.
